MaineBrickFan Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I just wanted to drop in and note, as other have, that Eric and Mike are very responsive. I asked a question about my order (which it turned out I had mis-remembered) and they responded instantly and in a very satisfactory way. Hats off to them. I expect this will not be my last delivery of their product. Quote
swissbagger Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Got my delivery today after picking it up from customs. Looks all great, time for tests, pictures and reviews will come hopefully next weekend... Someone else in Europe/outside the US allready got his/her ME plastic curves already? Thanks Mike and Eric making this drwam come true! HoMa Got my delivery today after picking it up from customs.

Thanks Mike and Eric making this drwam come true! HoMa Something wrong with my post before @homa: i got my rails last week, weedensday. Swiss-Duty was very quickly, but also very correct, i have paid about 30 dollars for it!! Until now i have no time to test it, but looks great. Thanks Eric & Mike Beat (Swissbagger) Edited January 20, 2015 by swissbagger Quote
Eric J. Olson Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I got a USPS ship notification 2+ ago (Jan 3rd)... Solved! Thanks again USPS... I just wanted to drop in and note, as other have, that Eric and Mike are very responsive.... You're welcome. Until now i have no time to test it, but looks great. Thanks Eric & Mike You're welcome. On a side note, we picked up another HUGE box of items today...once we have them packed, another round or two will be going out this week. Quote
cei Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I got my USPS notification yesterday as well. Should hopefully mean I get my rails in a week or two :) Tempted by R72 curves now... Quote
jrathfon Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Yup! I wish I had mentioned the USPS delay sooner. Eric and Mike were super quick to rectify the USPS's mess up. Thanks for the quick response! Quote
Cale Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Still telling myself to be patient... You're not alone. I know I will get my rails eventually. But the wait is killer. I want to start playing with them. Cale Quote
zephyr1934 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Cale, Duq, did you upset Santa in 2014??? In all seriousness though, drop mike44 a private message for an update. It sounds like they are swamped but they were also very responsive to my direct inquires. Quote

It sounds like they are swamped but they were also very responsive to my direct inquires. I've never had a problem with ME in the past. Considering I backed for one of the larger packages, 2 full loops of each radius and each size of straight (no metal track though), I'm not surprised it may take a little longer to fill mine. I know my order will ship eventually. It's just a matter of time. No need to bother Mike and Eric yet. Cale Quote
Duq Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Santa was actually really good to me ;-) All my Lego is in storage at the moment as we're about to sell our house so there's no rush. I'm just curious to get my hands on it though... Quote

Cale If I were trying to fill a whole bunch of orders all at once, I'd start with the easiest and work up. My order sounds very similar to yours, I haven't started to panic either, in fact I've been assuming since mine is a large order and will be shipping to Australia it will be more troublesome, so it's logical to deal with it last. Doesn't mean there isn't anticipation though despite having a couple of rooms stripped bare for painting and new carpet. I've got stuff everywhere and no place to set up and play with the track till I've finished. I should avoid this thread; Duq is infectious Edited January 23, 2015 by peterab Quote
dr_spock Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Does more time on emails mean less time packing and shipping? Quote
peterab Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Does more time on emails mean less time packing and shipping? That has been the calming thought in the back of my mind when I start to panic. Quote
Aaron Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Any update on the timeframe for mixed orders? Quote
mike44 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hello Aaron, We are near the bottom of the all plastic orders. Next up is the dual/mixed orders. (Plastic & Metal) Probably will start shipping early next week. We will be shipping the plastic part of the order first, then the metal. Our metal shop has finished the time study and production process system. Just waiting for the metal to be delivered. Again, we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. Mike Quote

(Plastic & Metal) Probably will start shipping early next week. We will be shipping the plastic part of the order first, then the metal. ... Woot! Finally! I'm excitied. :D Any reason why you chose to fulfill all the plastic-only orders before fulfilling the plastic portion of any mixed orders even though you are splitting mixed orders into separate plastic and metal shipments?

Duq Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 We are near the bottom of the all plastic orders. Hmm. I must be very near the bottom then... Quote
mike44 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 The main reason for our strategy / madness is simple ..... cost. We picked up the postage/shipping cost on all kick-starter and kick-backer pledges. We had hoped that the metal would have been done the same time as the plastic. This is not the case, to try and appease our supporters we decided to ship product as soon as we have it in hand. If you pledged for both you will be getting 2 shipments and the plastic rail will be first out to you. Quote
djm Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hmm. I must be very near the bottom then... You are not alone at the bottom. I'm here with you too! David. Quote
LoneBrickerSG Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Mike, I have a question about your new curve pieces. Is each individual curve piece about the same size as the standard Lego straight track pieces? I'm asking for storage planning You can count on an order from me within the next month. Some of my trains are starting to not like the standard Lego curve pieces, and I really want to see my Horizon Express strutting its stuff on a broad curve. Edited February 11, 2015 by LoneBrickerSG Quote
ronenson Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You are not alone at the bottom. I'm here with you too! David. It must be a big bottom me too Quote
nils Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 It must be a big bottom me too And me too. Quote
mike44 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hey Guys, We did not mean to hurt anyone's feelings. What I should have said is that we are finally tackling the larger pledges / i.e. the larger orders. We will be making the final push on the ALL PLASTIC and then on to the mixed orders ( Plastic & Metal ) Plastic going out first. From our point of view -- everyone counts!!!! Mike Quote
coaster Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Mike, you made mention earlier about doing 1 piece versions in the near future. It may have been said and I just missed it, but would that include a metal rail version similar to the 9V ones? Quote
